Lahren, where are your facts?

Tomi Lahren,

You speak your mind and use the first amendment freely. Yet, I have heard you countless times talk down to people who also practice that right. Why is this? What kind of freedom of speech and protesting is correct to you? We have people peacefully protesting or taking a knee and that is just too vulgar for you.

You speak of this free and loving country so much, but when someone practices their right to freedom of speech you are the first to try and shut them up.

The same country you speak of that shouts "support our troops and vets" yet they leave them in the dust when they come home from war. They are in poverty and suffering from PTSD, but you don't hear anyone yelling "support our troops" then.

What about comparing Black Lives Matter to the KKK? You are telling me that a group of human beings who are fighting for their voices to be heard after centuries of oppression are similar to a white supremacist group who endorses your President-elect?

The same one who speaks ill of women in which you praise so highly. You also say that, "feminism isn't about equality, it is about man-bashing and free birth control."

I have something to say then. Why are feminists the ones to shut down gender norms and fight for a man when it comes to societal pressure on being masculine and "manly?" Why is it so bad that we have inexpensive birth control, when most women that are on birth control have to take it for medical reasons?

I am sorry that you are blind to your own discrimination. You too are a woman and have probably dealt with sexist people who do not believe you have a place in society. When in fact, you do because you are a human being. So, I will continue fighting for your right to sit at that desk and scream at feminists because you deserve equal pay and inexpensive birth control.

Your statements made on your show seem to me like misguided unsupported opinions. Like the ones where you degrade the LGBT community by saying their valid sexuality is that of a "social experiment." In which I have to say to you where are your facts and statistics? As a queer woman, I am pretty sure my sexuality is not an experiment. You may think our lifestyles are a choice, but that is an opinion not backed up by anything other than homophobia.

Sincerely,

A pissed off leftist.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
